Impacted. Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) Hey laddies, I Have this problem with my wheel, when I pedal hard the brake rubs on the rim and makes a shit load of noise, so I assume that if I tighten my spokes up a bit more the it will stop? I have a spoke tensiometer (park tools) and it reads about 20 on the drive side and 15 on the non drive side (with a few fluke spokes that have been replaced and tightenend only to keep the wheel true) and it feels kinda weak, should I have something more like 25 drive side and 20 non drive side, and is it really worth doing? I mean is it a lot more likely to implode on a big drop or something? I'm also about to build 2 wheels and I will have a disk at the front, should the spokes on that be 25 disk side and 20 non-disk side aswell? Thanks for any help (Y) Edited September 12, 2005 by Impacted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Whats that '20' measured in? Surely theres some sort of calibration scale in the manual of your tensoimeter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
